澳大利亚城市向地区迁移创疫情后新高

澳大利亚从城市向地区的迁移潮在2026年6月季度达到新冠疫情以来的新高水平。1这一时期的首都至地区净迁移规模与2021年同期的历史记录相当，表明区域吸引力持续强劲。1根据英联邦银行与澳大利亚区域研究所的数据，过去十年区域人口增长超过政府预期114000人。1

在各迁移目的地中，西澳大利亚的Greater Geraldton增速最为突出，与首都城市的净流入增长了225%。1其他快速增长的地区包括Clarence Valley（增长167.3%）、Murray Bridge（增长150%）和Toowoomba（增长147.1%）。1不过，从迁移人数的绝对规模看，阳光海岸仍为最受欢迎的目的地，获得了8.7%的净迁移份额。1悉尼和墨尔本分别占所有首都城市净流出的52%和36%。1澳大利亚区域研究所首席Liz Ritchie表示，"乡村生活的吸引力全年保持十分强劲"。1

Australia's shift of residents from major cities to regional areas has hit its highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic, with capital-to-regional migration in the June 2026 quarter matching record levels from the same period in 2021 1. The surge reflects sustained appeal for regional living, with some areas experiencing dramatic growth while others maintain their established appeal to relocating residents.

Greater Geraldton in Western Australia recorded the fastest expansion, with net inflow from capital cities climbing 225 percent, followed by Clarence Valley at 167.3 percent and Murray Bridge at 150 percent 1. Meanwhile, traditional coastal destinations continue to dominate in absolute numbers, with the Sunshine Coast capturing 8.7 percent of total net migration and remaining the most popular destination 1. Sydney and Melbourne account for 52 percent and 36 percent respectively of all capital city net outflows 1. Regional population growth has outpaced government expectations by 114,000 people over the past decade 1. According to Liz Ritchie, Chief of the Regional Australia Institute, "the appeal of rural living has remained incredibly strong throughout the year" 1.
